[hometext] => this is just about how i am disappointed with my dad
[bodytext] => You lay alone, as if that's what you want. We try my brother and I But you cough and refrain from discussion. Others arrive and you are alive like you are infused, With a new rawer energy that I do not see, That I cannot receive That I am not worthy of knowing I vow to tell you I tell myself it will be said To have you as a father before you are dead. But we both know it will be ignored, It will be avoided, Just because its easier that way. One day when you are gone, then I will cry. I will cry for what could have been, What should have been But could never be, We were too much of the same ever to be different. Never wanted to hurt but hurt all the same I always remember being younger and you being the same A solitary man, selfish and unique in your worthlessness Soulless and undignified. As I write this I have to remember who you are Have to respect what you are. Yet I find myself knowing that although I should have respect I am of an age to know that should have been earned. A father should be a rock ,an icon You should have been my strength, my goal,my role model You should have set me goals. Instead you were yourself and I have become me. I have many times for more but I have missed out. There is no longer any time There is no inclination I feel incomplete But you are not prepared to finish your job .
